The user controls the appearance of apps on the HomeScreen. Your manifest controls the appearance of icons in the Launcher. You would omit this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#CATEGORY_LAUNCHER and include this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#CATEGORY_BROWSABLE so the user can launch it from the Android Market (or, I would assume, other app-launching apps) > If so, how does the user run it for the first time (to install the add-on)? > Include the above category and they can open it from the Market, after installing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
